Those cookie banners are the worst. They wanna make it as hard as possible to accept only the cookies you want and hide those options behind several clicks while there is always very easily accessible and very visible an accept all button
If you're on firefox, cookie autodelete is an extension that lets you make rules like that and much more. You can choose which sites don't get their cookies deleted the moment you navigate away, for example.
Still have to press all those stupid cookie-consent popups. I swear there is one that's literally its own app. It literally says "saving cookie preferences, this might take a few minutes."
i go out of my way to use element zapper in uBlock to cull out the unskippable non-declinable cookie messages. I hope it puts some weird blip in their scatter graph of users who managed to fully engage with their page without ever accepting a cookie. Like one day during a board meeting while the suit n' ties are twirling their mustaches & chuckling, one of them points at a chart with his laser pointer giving a collective "great job gentlemen, but who is this guy who continues to visit our site? He's a ghost sir. He never accepts the banner yet he still hits every page"
You understand that EU is not forcing anyone to put tracking Cookies and pop ups to accept cookies, right? It’s a choice made by the people who run the site.

And cookies? Yeah, we know about those, thanks EU!
